Szijjarto, Hungarian foreign minister, made regular phone calls during breaks at E.U. meetings to his Russian counterpart, Sergei Lavrov, with “live reports on what’s been discussed” -The Washington Post Vote. Them. Out!

I have a journalism joke but it doesn’t work anymore

WOW: DOJ redactions hid key details about Trump’s Epstein ties — and Rep. Dan Goldman just revealed what they were trying to cover up. In the unredacted document shown today by Goldman, we can now read the full notes from a 2009 conversation involving Jeffrey Epstein and Trump’s attorneys. 1/

Check this out. The DOJ redacted a conversation showing Trump never threw Epstein out of Mar a Lago.

Jared Kushner is cashing in on your government's influence. It’s the biggest conflict of interest in history, happening in broad daylight.

I can understand why the Doge Bags wanted these videos removed. I listened to two of them, and both tech bros came across as breathtakingly stupid. It's scary that they had access to so much sensitive data. Elon lied. They weren't sent to do accounting; they were sent to do hacking.

If we already won, why is our navy too scared to escort tankers through the Strait of Hormuz?

Another hush money payment.

Mass shooting: 2 dead and 5 injured in shooting at EZ’s Lounge in Oakland, California.

Not just any white hat. It comes from “The Trump Store." You can find it there for $55 & plenty of other stuff & links to Trump Hotels, Trump Golf, etc. Apparently, to Trump, nothing says great opportunity for pushing merchandise like bringing home fallen soldiers. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

POLITISCHE EINFLUSSNAHME Libertäre Tech-Bros gibt es auch in Europa In den USA arbeiten Tech-CEOs und -Investoren emsig an der Abschaffung von jeglichen Regulierungen. In Europa wird ihnen bereits nachgeeifert. www.derstandard.at/story/300000...

It’s been downhill ever since

The people in Hungary are showing that they have enough of Orban.

NEW: An inmate overheard guards talking about covering up Epstein’s death. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/c...

So Russia is helping Iran target American troops. Ukraine is offering drone defense. Guess who Trump NEVER ONCE has EVER criticized? Correct. Russia

With all the wars and crises going on in the world, let's discuss arts. Russia is back at the Venice Biennale. This is not just art - it’s a cultural-information operation: an effort to make the presence of an aggressor state appear "normal" again.

russia was allowed to compete in Paralympics under their flag. Here’s what Andrew Parsons the President, had to say about it. Behold. “It doesn’t matter to us what they have done.” No it’s clear why they made those Nazi Olympics tees and stood by that decision.

Donald Trump keeps doing things that help Vladimir Putin. benrhodes1.substack.com/p/how-putin-...

More winning.

Es ist echt bitter: Das Völkerrecht ist das, was der "Gutmensch" mal war, ein Objekt der Häme, fast ein Schimpfwort. Nur dass dies mittlerweile oft aus der Mitte heraus kommt. Wer Völkerrechtsargumente als "naiv" rahmt, macht das Recht des Stärkeren zum Maßstab. Bis er selbst der Schwächere ist.

They’re still lying to us. www.startribune.com/close-to-650...

ICYMI — “No one wants to fight for Israel!” Marine veteran Brian McGinnis had his hand injured as AIPAC-backed Senator Sheehy (R) & joined Capitol Police officers in physically removing him as he spoke out against Trump and Bibi’s war.

Ausgerechnet die „Das wird man doch wohl noch sagen dürfen“-Fraktion will Vorschriften machen, was andere nicht mehr sagen oder fordern dürfen. www.tagesspiegel.de/gesellschaft...

Translation: he didn't have enough weapons to fight his war of choice and so he is blaming Ukraine

NYT: "Americans alarmed by the death of four U.S. service members might have been expecting a formal presidential address from the White House. Instead, they are observing a president treating this like every other day: talking about his ballroom, attacking Democrats, bashing the news media"

Anna Paulina Luna Gaslighting the nation.

Millionen Iraner:innen im Iran und weltweit haben gerade Angst um sich und die Menschen, die sie lieben, und gleichzeitig hoffen viele, dass das Regime endlich fällt. Die Realität ist komplexer als diese ganzen Posts von Leuten, die ihr Halbwissen öffentlich umher werfen.

Tulsi literally sold shirts

This is how civilians are evacuated from frontline areas of the Kharkiv region. Protective drone nets are necessary because Russia spares no one.

Das käme einer Abschaffung des #Heizungsgesetzes gleich. Verbraucher könnten weiter auf klimaschädliche & immer teurere Gasheizungen setzen. Profitieren würde davon vor allem die fossile Lobby, die ihre Gasnetze weiter betreiben kann. Es wäre absurd, den Gas-Lockin so zu verschärfen.

Was sind wiederkehrende Muster, wie speziell Frauen im Netz abgewertet werden? Und auch: Wie kann man sich wehren? Darüber sprach ich mit @news.at - siehe:

Das größte Problem dabei ist, dass so viele Menschen jetzt noch in die Fossilfalle gelockt werden und später bitter dafür zahlen werden müssen. Was man dann übrigens nicht der aktuellen CDU-Entscheidung sondern den dann Regierenden anlasten wird.

Statt 1,93 Millionen Quadratmeter leerstehende Bürofläche in Wohnraum umzuwandeln oder die 30.000 illegalen Ferienwohnungen dem regulären Wohnungsmarkt zuzuführen, setzt der Berliner Senat aus CDU und SPD auf die vermeintliche Zauberformel „Bauen, Bauen, Bauen“. www.bund-berlin.de/service/meld...

Wisst ihr noch, wie Friedrich Merz im Bundestag angekündigt hat, innerhalb einer Woche den Taurus zu liefern, wenn Russland die zivile Infrastruktur der Ukraine angreift? Deutschland und Europa tun viel, aber seit vier Jahren nie genug.

Berlinweite Studie zu #Verkehrsberuhigung: „Ein überdurchschnittlicher Rückgang von Unfällen mit Verletzten, sehr hohe Zustimmungswerte zu Verkehrsberuhigung und eine positive Einschätzung zur Entwicklung der Lebensqualität.“ Voilà!

Every time I write about measles, experts warn that polio is next. But it's been so long since we had polio outbreaks, there are very few doctors who even know how to treat its long-term health issues. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

I'm old enough to remember when polio ripped through the globe and put my friends into iron lungs. We dutifully lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives. RFK Jr. is a disgrace.

FYI Mexico has one legal gun store, run by the military, where civilians can only buy limited caliber firearms for home defense after passing strict background checks. The majority of the guns used by cartels are smuggled in from the United States. Those borders go both ways.

From 2019: "Bowers isn’t the first Trump-connected Deutsche exec to commit suicide. In 2014, Deutsche derivatives analyst William S. Broeksmit, who reportedly had links to Trump and Russia, hung himself from a dog leash at his home in London." lamag.com/politics/deu...

Die #Teilzeit-Debatte wird derzeit teils respektlos geführt. @gfelbermayr.bsky.social @wifo.bsky.social hat heute Daten zur tatsächlichen Lage vorgestellt. Mehr als 170.000 Teilzeitbeschäftigte wollen länger arbeiten, und zwar nicht nur ein bisschen, sondern im Schnitt 12 Stunden mehr pro Woche.

In the backyard of a school in one of #Kyiv’s districts, where many homes remain without heating due to Russian strikes, the smell of fresh bread fills the air. It’s 43-year-old French volunteer Loïc Nervi baking bread in his mobile bakery.

💝 Das schönste Dankeschön! Diese wundervolle Zeichnung haben wir bekommen und sie geht direkt ins Herz. Ein Haus, bunte Blumen, strahlende Sonne, Herzen und ein großes "DANKE" - gemalt von einem Kind, das durch unsere Arbeit Zugang zu digitaler Bildung bekommen hat.

of our neighbors being kidnapped, our economy being paralyzed, citizens murdered in the street, children afraid to go to school. If you’re able to get out of bed every day, I think you’re doing pretty fucking well

idk if people not in MN realize it but we’ve been through such tremendous trauma in the past few months. Melissa Hortman was murdered only 8 months ago. Think of all we’ve endured since then, locally AND nationally! Federal program cuts, murder of public officials, a federal occupation, thousands

If only Prince Andrew had thought of declaring himself exonerated.

Bolsonaro in prison, Yeon sentenced to prison, Andrew arrested on his birthday...and America still holding on to a 34 count felon as President.
